Mentoring Partnership of Minnesota and the Minnesota Business Partnership are challenging businesses to either expand its involvement in mentoring or to get started. At a luncheon attended by Governor Tim Pawlenty, top CEOs, and judicial and legislative leaders, MBP Connections chair John Stanoch, Qwest Minnesota President, extended a challenge to his fellow peers to step up and start supporting youth mentoring or increase their participation by 10%. 

Mentoring is a great way for workplaces to contribute to the economic and social strength of their communities. Research shows an estimated 450,000 youth in Minnesota would benefit from a mentoring relationship with a caring adult.

Step Up to the Challenge

  • Expand your employee involvement by 10%
  • Increase the number of youth mentored by employees from your company by 10%, or
  • Start a mentoring program at your company

Mentoring Partnership of Minnesota can help employers or employees needing information or assistance in supporting its youth mentoring activities by providing expertise and services.
